Hi all, I have a couple of servers that need to be brought somewhat up to date. One is currently running SOlaris 10 11/06 and the other is running Solaris 11 (build 130 of Nevada). I have a strong preference for staying with an OpenSolaris descendent (I don't have the $$$ for an Oracle support contract), so judging by the research I have done I'm looking for a distro bassed on Illumos. The question is, which one?!
ZFS support is mandatory (including the ability to boot from a mirrored pool), as are DTrace and Zones. I only need server stuff, so I'm not worried about desktop-friendly distros; looking at the distro comparison table on illumos.org, it would seem that OpenIndiana is my best option, but I am open to suggestions! Oh, I will also probably want to build my own software packages (e.g., Sendmail, Bind, etc.) on these machines too. TIA for any tips and advice!
